I have visited Carolyn at WA twice now and couldn't recommend a better human to see for colon hydrotherapy. She is so well versed in total body health and has a more holistic approach to health in general. I always leave her feeling like I have gained so much new insight and knowledge. She makes the whole process comfortable and completely normal and 0 discomfort. If this is something you've been thinking about doing- I highly recommend Carolyn! read more

Finally found a colon therapist.. Carolyn is amazing.. I have been struggling with digestive issues for years.. She has so much knowledge and her professionalism. She makes you feel so comfortable. You'll be in great hands.. read more

Couldn't recommend more! The most pleasant, calm and informative experience and yet the most effective results. Carolyn realllyyyy knows her stuff who heals and has a medical background. The facility is spotless and quiet as well. You'll be glad you came here! read more

Carolyn is more than just a wellness expert--she's an oracle in my life. Every visit feels like a life-changing experience. I first came to Wellness Associates a couple of years ago for a colonic, but now I make it a point to schedule an appointment with Carolyn at least twice a year, especially after my seven-day water fasts. The space is cozy, clean, and incredibly welcoming, but the real magic happens during the session. Carolyn's knowledge goes far beyond gut health and nutrition. She has this amazing ability to connect with you on all levels--especially spiritually. Every visit is like a mini-therapy session for my body and mind. We talk about life, the universe, and everything in between. Carolyn takes her time to really get to know you, which has greatly impacted my life--both physically and mentally. My well-being has significantly improved since I started seeing her. I wish everyone had access to someone as insightful and caring as she is. However, If I ever hit it big in life, it's over for the rest of you--I'll be paying Carolyn just to hang out with me! read more

I did a lot of research before booking my first hydrotherapy and settled on Carolyn because of her experience and wonderful reviews. She was very kind on the phone and made me feel at ease. When I arrived for my appointment, I had some questions about the paperwork before signing my life away (I know this is standard, but wanted to clarify some conditions to make sure I was safe). After a few questions she seemed to get annoyed and said "if you have this many questions you probably shouldn't do this" and the energy felt hostile. I was very uncomfortable and feeling rushed, so I said ok? And then she sternly said "you still have to pay me". But she had talked me out of doing it! At this point I obviously couldn't go through with it, she was already annoyed and I was definitely not comfortable putting my health in her hands. She also spouted some covid misinfo along the way, like that you don't need to be vaccinated as long as you wash your hands (this is not true). So I didn't actually go through with the treatment because SHE TALKED ME OUT OF IT, but I still had to pay, which is why I'm writing this review. Adding a star because she gave me some supplements and information to take home. I'm sure Carolyn is very good at what she does, but it felt very unfair to be talked out of doing the treatment and then forced to pay by the same practitioner. I wish I got the same great experience that all of these other reviewers did, but instead I drove home after 5 minutes feeling stupid, broke, and taken advantage of:( read more

My favorite colonic! Carolyn is extremely thorough and experienced. I have had colonics with many other providers and she is the best by far! Her office is very comfortable and easy to access. Easy street parking. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for the first time and loved it! Carolyn made me feel so comfortable. I sometimes didn't realize what was actually happening because it was simple and easy. I loved the facts on health she gave me and all the meal ideas. Most importantly I loved how she really seemed interested in helping me. Can't wait to go back. read more

I could not recommend Carolyn enough. She makes a sensitive experience comfortable and enjoyable. In addition to being personable she is incredibly well versed in all things related to gut health. I have been to her numerous times and will keep coming back! Carolyn and her work have made such a beneficial impact in my gut health and my life. If you have any hesitations let this review encourage you to SEE HER! read more

I researched a ton of colonics before I landed on Carolyn. I highly recommend her. The first time I went I was super nervous but her medical knowledge/background reassured me I was in good hands! The attention she gives you during the appointment is unmatched. She really does care about her patients . If you're reading this review email Carolyn for an appointment read more

A session with Carolyn is more than just a colonic! She puts you at ease as soon as you walk in the door, and the session itself is completely pleasant and relaxing. She is is a wealth of information on all things gut health. I completely recommend booking a session ASAP! read more

Oh my goodness!!! I am SO very grateful I found this wonderful jewel of a health oasis in Venice!! Colon Therapy is one of the best things we can do for our health and I left feeling that Carolyn was put on this earth to help us realize our goal. Carolyn is a gentle, loving spirit with a terrific 'in the moment presence'. If you go in feeling serious and intense you will go out dancing, taking life lighter as you feel so much lighter & happier. Do yourself a favor, pick up the phone to make an appointment. You'll be very glad you did. read more

There is NO ONE better than Carolyn. I have had colon hydrotherapy in San Francisco and O.C. and no one comes close. Phenomenally knowledgeable, informative, and you go away feeling not only lighter but much more informed about your body. She is sweet and kind to boot! Very comfortable being in her presence. -Christina Scott read more

I've been seeing Caroline for 10 + years! she has been a game changer in my life and in all my friends! I highly recommend her!

I Abhor singing in choruses but MUST SING CAROLYN'S PRAISES!!!!! Doctors, trainers, dieticians, nurses, therapists, swamis, healers....whatever... Have never gotten through to me in re HOW TO EAT! For me the incalculable value of Carolyn's service is the wealth of information she can impart to you. LISTEN TO HER! After years of suffering I've finally started eating right. I've lost weight without trying, without feeling hungry. I feel better. I feel clean. Thank you, Carolyn read more

Highly recommend. Carolyn maintains a clean space and is highly experienced and educated in the services she provides.

Carolyn is one of the warmest people I have met. I have always been interested in trying colonics. It was my first time and after talking to a few different places in the area - I decided I got the best feeling with Carolyn's practice, Wellness Associates. From the minute I walked in to the minute I walked out I felt like I made the right choice. She is an absolute wealth of knowledge. I trust her completely with all of my questions, overall health and I took her advice post very seriously. She takes time to review your history (health, social, environmental, allergies, etc) - so be honest and open. She knows what she is doing and you can tell she loves what she does. I recommend Carolyn over and over. read more

Carolyn is a wealth of information about wellness, and delivers thoughtful personalized care. Her office is clean, and she does a fantastic job of describing what her procedures are, and answers all questions you could have. read more

Carolyn gets 5 stars for providing excellent service in a professional, yet warm and comfortable manner. She was very attentive to my GI concerns and took the time to dig deeper to provide a holistic solution to the issues I've had. While the procedure itself was cleansing and felt terrific, it was more about the lifestyle changes she suggested that had the greatest impact on me. I am so grateful for her honesty as well as her generous sharing of resources. Whether you are seasoned in getting colonics or you are a first-timer, you are in good hands with Carolyn. She is a truly a master at providing safe and effective colonics that make you feel energized, light, and glowing! read more

Carolyn is absolutely AMAZING! She is extremely hands on, knowledgeable and coaches you through everything which makes for a very comforting experience. I was getting colonics for a while before and had no idea how hands off they were until I went to Carolyn. She really educates you on your body, the processes and provides a lot of insight on how to heal yourself from the inside out. I've learned so much from Carolyn, and see her every month. I leave feeling incredible, healthier and with much flatter tummy :) She is very personable, warm and caring- so it makes the experience better than any other Holistic care place I've visited. Definitely check her out- you will definitely be pleased. read more

Carolyn is really warm, caring and knowledgeable. She really puts you at ease and she follows up after your treatment. I truly recommend her, you are in good hands! read more

Carolyn is an expert --the best out there! I am so blessed to have found someone that is so passionate and knowledgeable. My experience was personable, easy and definitely an eye opener! I had no idea how important it is getting this done and have no regrets. I feel lighter, cleaner, stronger and better than ever! I highly recommend giving this a shot for anyone interested in improving their health! Invest in your health ---its so worth it! read more

Working with Carolyn is a great experience. She's knowledgable, caring, and very intelligent. Her health advice and supplements, as well as her excellent treatments have made a big difference in my overall health and outlook. I've been to a number of clinics during a parasite cleanse, and Wellness Associates is the best value and support I've found by far. Highly recommend. read more

I am accustomed to getting regular colonics (1-2x year). After having my last child over 5 years ago, however, I never could find the time or mental energy to go in. I never used Wellness Associates and instead, year after year, went to Body Z Alive. I thought the colon therapists there were awesome. After several years away from colonics, I decided to approach it like brand new. In researching, Carolyn stood out immediately. She was a practicing RN for over a decade and went to school before the pharmaceutical companies infiltrated western medicine. I love that she really studied this field/practice before diving into creating her own business. That says a lot. My experience on the table was great. I was bracing myself to feel that toxin release...jitters, perspiration, hot/cold sensation...but to my surprise I felt none of that. She was, not only gentle, but so skilled that she knew how to read both the machine and her client so I never felt any discomfort. It was incredible. The icing on the cake (and I love icing) was that Carolyn was extremely informative throughout my session. The information I got from her during our conversation (I preferred conversation during session) was amazing and as a result of that table talk, Carolyn helped me to tighten up my health routine. I wish I could have taken notes! I will definitely go back again! read more

I knew a colonic would be a good idea following two months of constant cold/flu, compromised digestion and other health issues. I used to come fairly regularly but got out of the habit. I am so glad to know of such an experienced, knowledgable, thorough and caring practitioner! In addition to a relaxing session, Carolyn gave me some great tips about foods to support proper digestion and where to get them. She really takes her time with the colonic, this is not a "spa" type treatment but a result oriented treatment to improve digestive and overall health. I came home and slept for 3 hours, a deeper sleep than I've had in many months. I'll be coming in on a regular basis from now on. Thanks, Carolyn! read more

I keep telling Carolyn that she has spoiled me for anyone else! I have tried colonics in different places but none of them are as comfortable, clean and professional as Carolyn's. I have known her for about eight years now and keep going back. My digestion kept getting better over time plus the treatments are easier every time and I owe that all to Carolyn's patience and expertise. Do not hesitate.... read more

I recently had a colonic with Caryolyn. From the moment I stepped into her office I felt cared for and nurtured. She put me at ease with her gentle yet confident and experienced approach to colonic hydrotherapy. She was completely present with me and intuitive to my body's response to the therapy. She is a wealth of knowledge and a very kind professional. I highly recommend Wellness Associates. read more

Carolyn is so sweet and amazing! I have previously gotten a colonic at another spot, and it was honestly painful and not the greatest experience. Carolyn was so sweet and explained to me that their process was wrong and they were probably trying to rush and squeeze me into a 40 minute appointment. Carolyn's sessions are quite the opposite! She does not rush at all, and she truly does care about you. She is so full of knowledge, and you will leave knowing soooo much info on health, wellness, supplements, and everything about ur colon. She is so caring and genuine, I can't wait to go back for another appointment. I feel so much lighter, I was literally full of so much shit and this cleansing treatment was MUCH NEEDED! read more

Carolyn is wonderful. Professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and super-prepared. I had a wonderful colonic. Carolyn's excellent bedside manner takes any awkwardness out of the process. Her office is amazing. Full of thoughtful extra touches such as cozy socks and a smock to wear during the treatments. An urine analysis before your treatment which she thoroughly explains, and lastly a yummy Kombucha drink and a probiotic for you when you are finished. I love Carolyn! Truly a gem. She is my solid go-to for when I am feeling the need for a colonic therapy. Highly recommend!!! read more

Carolyn was awesome! So friendly & made my visit as comfortable as possible. She was prepared & knowledgable. She made sure to go over everything with me - ask me questions & just talked about health in general. A fantastic experience & she genuinely cares about one's health. I'll definitely be going back! read more

This is the absolute best experience I've had in terms of hydrotherapy / alternative medicine / colonic. Hands down! Carolyn is not only an incredibly knowledgeable caretaker but also a wonderful person. This review is long overdue as I've been visiting her for years and will continue to do so as long as I can. The advice I've received in terms of nutrition and health are incomparable to any other therapist / doctor that I've been to. Carolyn cares and it shows. Her work is amazing and I cannot recommend her treatment enough. There's no awkwardness or oddness, just pure comfort and relaxation that ends with a fulfilling cleanse. I feel wonderful for weeks after I see her and my body thanks me for seeing her. read more

I've been coming to Wellness Associates once a month in the last 3 years. I know for a fact that this treatment is helping greatly with my health issues, especially in keeping at bay any possible inflammatory condition. Carolyn is extremely professional, knowledgeable and absolutely a pleasure to interact with. The office is very clean and welcoming at the same time. Also pricing for the services is absolutely competitive. I can't but give my highest recommendation to Wellness Associates. read more

Carolyn is absolutely amazing. She is thorough, wise, knowledgeable, an expert, and a healer. I don't say these things lightly. I took me months of research to find the right person with the right credentials. I originally went to an MD to do my first session and then, through following my instincts, found Carolyn . Let me tell you, I would not go to anyone one else but this woman. She is the type of professional that you feel safe and confident referring your most loved one to. I feel amazing after every session. She is the best. read more

Carolyn I love you!!! My neighbor suggested I use Carolyn for hydrotherapy and I'm lucky to have found her. She put me at ease and was gentle but thorough!! I've seen her twice now and each time I've left feeling clear-minded and lighter. It took care of the bloat. She is wonderful at what she does and she is honest and reasonably priced. You won't be disappointed! read more

Carolyn is beyond ahhhmazing!!! By far the best ever. She is extremely knowledgeable, gave me advice before coming so I can be well educated and aware. It was very helpful. She sure knows what she is doing, I felt very comfortable at the table ...she is just GREAT! Will go back again and again. Thank you Carolyn!!!! read more

Carolyn is absolutely incredible! As a Registered Nurse, Carolyn brings a high level of medical professionalism to colon hydrotherapy. She is a wealth of knowledge and provides for a very gentle and comfortable experience. My favorite part about Carolyn is how mindful she is about each client and his / her needs. I wouldn't recommend anyone else for colonics! read more

Came here prior to a medical procedure and was referred by a good friend (and her mother!). This is an awkward procedure to discuss--not to mention Yelp! about--but totally painless and easy, thanks to Carolyn! She has decades of experience and is extremely knowledgeable. I was comfortable and actually felt wonderful afterwards. read more

I had great sessions with sweet Carolyn. She is very welcoming and knowledgeable all about health! Me and fiancé just had our second colonics with her and feeling fantastic. We are planing to come back at least twice a year to maintain our health. Thank you Carolyn for always taking great care of us! read more

Carolyn was a recommendation from a trusted friend, but I was hesitant because she was so far from where I lived. Alright, I'll go once and be done I thought. That was three months ago and rain or shine (yes, it does sometimes rain in LA) I keep my appointments. Carolyn is knowledgeable, nurturing, and gives advice but with no pressure. The place is sparkling clean, inviting and you feel great not just from the great service but from the conversation and company as well. I personally feel wonderful, have tons more energy and even those close to me have commented that I look healthier. Carolyn is amazing! This is an update to my previous review...I've been seeing Carolyn for over two years now and I think that in itself speaks volumes. The service continues to be amazing, Carolyn is consistently working her magic and I feel better than ever. If you've ever hesitated about colon therapy this place will make you a lifetime believer! Thanks Carolyn!!! read more

I have had many many colonics and Carolyn is the best! I have seen her a few times now. She takes longer than most colon-hydro therapists (90 minutes vs 45 minutes). Allowing for a more relaxed healing detoxifying experience... also healthier for your colon too. You can tell Carolyn loves what she does. She is so calm. Her office is quiet, clean and in a convenient location. If you have or have never had a colonic, see Carolyn. Make sure to prepare a couple of days in advance, drinking lots of water, juices, as well as eating watery foods...it will make for a better colonic. You will feel more energized and your body will thank you. read more
